The minute I read Victoria Ranch I wondered if they meant the King Ranch near Victoria, Texas. I grew up in that area and can’t imagine another ranch that might have been in Victoria. The King Ranch is huge not leaving much room for another.

Maybe this helps.

Good luck.

I wish I could take credit for WW but I found it at https://www.wordlesswednesday.com. Check it out.

The banner is a photo I took in Jemez Springs NM 3 or 4 years ago. I have very few winter snaps.

I’m totally enjoying your blog!
(And thank you for commenting on mine!)

I like your idea of ‘Wordless Wednesday’; may I borrow it?

I love the picture at the top of your blog.
It reminds me of areas near my hometown Binghamton in upstate New York.

Thanks! I was born in Fort Worth and lived there many years. I love cowtown. You had quite a commute didn’t you?

I haven’t heard of Victoria Ranch. There is a town called Victoria, the seat of Victoria County, near the coast. I think Victoria Ranch must refer to a ranch rather than a town, but where?

Unfortunately there are a lot of Bruces here too. Is this a recent obit? Anywho.com lists two Catherine Bruces, one in the San Antonio area and one in Houston.

Are there any other clues in the article?

Although living in Idaho now, we lived in Fort Worth for two years. I worked in Dallas at Adventure Tours and that was my favorite job ever!

I have a family obituary that states as follows: “Relatives in Winona (Minnestoa) have just received word of the death of A. R. Bruce, husband of Mrs. Catherine Parsons Bruce, of Victoria Ranch, Texas.”

I cannot for the life of me find anything on Victoria Ranch, Texas. Have you ever heard of it?

Thanks.
